Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 flour tortillas taco size
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • ½ cup cheese Mexican mix or cheddar-jack
  • oil spray
  • 1 avocado chopped
  • ½ cup tomatoes chopped, about 1 to 2 tomatoes
  • ½ cup lettuce shredded or finely chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro chopped

Salsa (optional but highly recommended)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer at 350°
  • Assemble the tortillas with chicken and cheese. If your tortillas are cold, quickly warm them up in a skillet first for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Fold the tortillas in half and push gently on them to keep them shut.
  • Spray the air fryer with oil spray. Add 2 to 4 tortillas, depending on the size of your air fryer. Quickly spray the tortillas with more oil spray. Cook for 3 minutes, carefully flip with tongues and cook for 3 more minutes. *see notes
  • Once cooked, place on a plate and let cool for about 1 minutes. Carefully open the tacos a bit without breaking them to fill with avocado, tomato, lettuce, a squeeze of lime, chopped cilantro and salsa. Enjoy!

Notes

*Check the tacos after the 1st minute or 2 of cooking to make sure they didn't open. If they did, use a spatula to push them back down together. Once the cheese starts to melt, it won't be an issue and they'll stay shut. You can also use a toothpick to hold them together.
